Risk Reduction in Transport System in Emergency Conditions: A Framework for Evacuation Planning

Abstract: Emergency planning is part of the broader disaster management cycle that, at the international level, is identified with the following keywords: prevention; mitigation or prevention; preparedness; response; recovery. The paper focuses on preparedness and in particular on the planning process for ordinary and extraordinary conditions. The specific focus is on the evacuation planning process. In the last years, the United Nations (UN) and European Commission (EC) dedicated a great effort to pursue disaster risk … Show more

“…According to the nature of the event, the risk factor reduction may be implemented through prevention measures (work on probability); or protection measures to reduce magnitude (both on vulnerability and exposure). Moreover, authors as highlighted the possibility of limiting exposure through evacuation operating on the: transport system demand [6]; evacuation plans in emergency conditions [7], as well as on logistics operations (placing inventory management, rescue vehicles and teams) increasing both response and recovery phases. Furthermore, the transport system analysis in emergency conditions requires the identification of the process (emergency strategy) to be followed to reduce the effects that limit network operating conditions [8,9].…”

“…Planning can avoid or minimize the impact of emergencies by building a safe and sustainable environment. The planning approach helps to reduce risks and enhance emergency preparedness through exercises [46]. However, the stay time of passengers on the ship is short, and there is a lack of adequate exercise opportunities.…”

“…Another group of components concerns the properties of the evacuees. Mental states certainly do influence the evacuation, including emotions [ 16 ], preparedness [ 17 ], the socio-cultural backgrounds [ 18 ], etc., not to mention the obvious physical characteristics, including age, fitness, gender, etc.…”
